I woke up this morning already at a level 10 stress. The main things on everyone’s mind around here is, what is the status on the Kincade fire (currently 22,000 acres burned / 5% contained) and do I have electricity. 93,0000 people in Sonoma county (2.5 million people total in CA) will have their power shut off today due to HISTORIC winds. That’s how they report it, HISTORIC… all in caps. I really don’t like it when officials use caps. It’s worrying. Looking at the map, it’s not just Sonoma county that will be losing power, but 36 counties in the area. The smoke in the air makes the fires seem closer. We gauge it by the level of smoke during the 2017 fires. It’s not at that level yet, but still very worrying. Everyone is getting their laundry done, filling up their gas tanks, watching maps. There is also the concern of what to tell the children. Mine are only concerned with how much longer they can play their video games. Play all you want kids, mom is just going to be over here packing up the family albums and eating perishable foods.

by Andrew Barrett
Genre: Crime Fiction | Mystery, Thriller & Suspense | Thrillers

Some killers run. Some stand right behind you. Would you trust forensic evidence?
The police discover a woman’s naked body on her bed, arcs of blood tracked across the wall from a neck wound. This is the second such case Detective Superintendent Chamberlain has running. The first is still unsolved, and he’s desperate for a lead. Any lead.
It’s 1999, and Scenes of Crime Officer, Roger Conniston, is too busy obsessing over an arms dealer to worry about whether his coal-powered computer is Year 2000 Compliant; too busy cruising Wakefield’s night-life to worry about his wife or his lover, or the promotion he doesn’t really want.
Roger is about to make his move on the arms dealer when he’s arrested for the woman’s murder.
With Roger in the cells, Chamberlain can relax, and the arms dealer can resume his trade. Roger has to prove his innocence and find the true murderer. Not easy from behind bars – bars that are guarded by the same officer he’s been spying on.
A stressed investigator. A ruthless arms dealer. And Roger Conniston trying to put the world right and getting it all wrong. Which of Roger’s new enemies want him out of the way?
